Today we take a closer look at Spotify Wrapped... the fun parts, the confusing parts, and the slightly uncomfortable data-awareness parts. We dig into creator stats, talk about whether these numbers actually matter, and explore the bigger conversation around how much data platforms like Spotify collect from us as creators and listeners. The team joins in with their own Wrapped surprises, frustrations, and questions, and we wrap things up with our Friday tradition: Wins of the Week from across the community.Episode Highlights:[00:05] Kicking off the episode and introducing today’s focus on Spotify Wrapped[02:27] Creator reactions, badges, and what these stats actually represent[07:29] Surprising (and questionable) growth numbers across the team[13:05] What Spotify Wrapped reveals about data collection and listener tracking[15:15] The walled-garden analytics problem for podcasters[20:50] How much data is too much?
